This P-40N was delivered to the USAAF in May of 1944 and served with the 268th AAFBU at
Peterson AAB
from June 1944 until March, 1945. The following photo shows 44-7369 leading a four-ship from Peterson.

In March 1945 the aircraft was transferred to the 232nd AAFBU at Dalhart Field, Texas where it served
until struck off charge the following June. Fortunately, 44-7369 escaped the scrapper's torch, winding
up at Cal Aero Technical Institute located at the Grand Central Air Terminal in Glendale, California.
(Coincidentally, Cal Aero was formerly known as the Curtiss-Wright Technical Institute)

From 1957 to 1970 she was part of Ed Maloney's 'Air Museum' at Claremont, and later, Ontario, California.
Since then the ship has changed hands several times, moving from California to Canada... then back to
the USA, from Colorado to Florida and finally Texas.

This photo was taken in June of 1974 at Windsor, Ontario. Registered as C-GTGR, the aircraft was at the time
owned by Don Plumb, organizer of 'Airwar 74'. However, the pilot here is Max Hoffman, who subsequently purchased
the aircraft, owning it for only a short time before it went to John Williams of Tampa, Florida.
